​Air

LiYuanSheng

The one who died

still occupies a name

occupies the printed things, paper

my bookshelf

occupies the grave, occupies

the most important day in spring

The one who departed

sthill occupies the airport and the roads

occupies farewelling,occupies my pain

every rainy night

The others

can only pack close together

since the remaining space isn’t capacious

They crowd together

On the edge of losing their shapes

Everyday,everyday,white space swarms inbeforemy eyes

I move through them like thin films of air

Translated by Karmia Olutade

空气

李元胜

那个死去的人

还占用着一个名字

占用着印刷、纸张

我的书架

占用着墓穴，占用着

春季最重要的一天

那个离开的人

还占用着机场和道路

占用着告别，占用着我的疼痛

所有雨夜

其他的人

只能挤在一起

因为剩下的地方并不宽敞

他们拥挤在一起

几乎失去了形状

每天，每天我眼前拥挤着空白

我穿过他们就像穿过层层空气

A Knife

LiYuanSheng

A kinfe meticulously scrapes at the migth

allowing the horizon to gradually lighten

Yet by high noon

that black powder has not been discarded,hasnot been carted away

The piles settle

In our conversations about sunlight

Translated by Karmia Olutade

一把刀子

李元胜

一把刀子

细细地刮着夜晚

​让天边逐渐发亮

​但直到正午

​那些黑色粉末仍未运走

​它们淤积在

​我们关于阳光的交谈之中

Men Who Walk Too Fast

​LiYuanSheng

A man who walks too fast

Sometimes gets ahead of himself

His cheeks begin to fade 

Velocity mixes them with

imaginings adm futuristic colours

Likewise,a man who walks too slowly

Sometimes falls behind his body

He is nothing but his own shadow

a cracked past

or even, the trash that he always attempted

to discard discreetly

A man sitting beneath a tree

may not always be quite himself either

Sometimes he is sitting to his own left

other times to his own right

But in general, most fortunately

He is always sitting nera himself

Translated by Karmia Olutade

​走得太快的人

李元胜

走得太快的人

有时会走到自己前面去

他的脸庞会模糊

速度给它掺进了

幻觉和未来的颜色

同样，走得太慢的人

有时会掉到自己身后

他不过是自己的阴影

有裂缝的过去

甚至，是自己一直

试图偷偷扔掉的垃圾

坐在树下的人

也不一定刚好是他自己

有时他坐在自己的左边

有时坐在自己的右边

幸好总的来说

他都坐在自己的附近
